What causes Autistic Behavior Issues

kids with autism prefer routines and things to remain the same, they do not like surprises or unpredictability. Most kids with autism lack the ability to read facial expression or body language and fail to imagine a situation from another person's perspective or understand that someone else's thoughts might be different from their own.

This lack of social awareness can make the autism child appear selfish, although they will often be unaware of this.

Typically children with an autistic spectrum disorder WILL display behavior difficulties as a result of deficits in social, communication and imagination skills, this is called The Triad of Autistic Impairments or Social Skills Deficits

The Triad of Autistic Impairments or Social Skills Deficits affect:

Social Skills
Communication skills - both verbal and non-verbal
Imagination skills

Using autism tools like visual social story cards, flash cards and social stories as visual intervention strategies parents, care givers, teachers and other professionals can overcome many behavior issues.

Visual intervention strategies WILL help calm and re-assure the child with ASD.

Goal of a social skills story

The main objective for any intervention strategy should be to help the child on the spectrum cope with and better understand behaviours, skills and communications, this WILL enable them to better cope with their environment, encounters and situations. This CAN HELP reduce their stress, confusion or anxiety.

Using social skills stories as an intervention strategy WILL help you to improve your childs understanding of many situations that they are struggling with. This CAN have a positive affect on reducing unwanted behaviours. Generally children with an autistic spectrum disorder are visual thinkers and learners, meaning they think in pictures.

Social stories use this strategy and are normally visually rich, EASY TO USE, can be edited and personalized to suit all ages and abilities.
